average

adjective

average ♦︎ simple ♦︎ ordinary ♦︎ plain ♦︎ unremarkableThese words all describe things or people that are not special because they are not unusual, interesting or clever. 这些词均表示普通的、平庸的。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配an average / ordinary sort of person / thingan average / a simple / an ordinary / an unremarkable personaverage / ordinary playerssimple / plain ignorance / common sensepretty average / ordinary / unremarkablevery average / simple / ordinary average (often disapproving) not special in any way; not better than most others 普通的;中等的;不出众的He was quite an average sort of student, nothing out of the ordinary.他是个相当普通的学生,一点也不出众。The quality has been pretty average.质量很一般。 see also average normal simple [usually before noun] (often approving) (of a person) not grand, rich, clever or hard to understand; (of a thing or quality) not special or complicated (人)普通的,平凡的;(事物或性质)普通的,简单的They were simple country people.他们是普普通通的乡下人。In some cases his argument is based on simple ignorance.某些时候,他的论点纯粹是出于无知。When used to describe a person or a good quality simple is usually approving; when it is used to describe a bad quality it is usually disapproving. 用于形容人或高质量时,simple通常带褒义。用于形容低劣的品质时则带贬义。 ordinary (disapproving) having no unusual or interesting features 平庸的;平淡无奇的The meal was very ordinary.这顿饭平常得很。I lead a very ordinary life.我过着平淡无奇的生活。In this meaning ordinary very often follows very, which emphasizes that ordinary is being used in a disapproving way. 表达此义时,ordinary总跟在very后面,强调ordinary的贬义用法。 see also ordinary normal OPP extraordinary remarkable plain [only before noun] (often approving) (of a quality) not special or complicated; (of a person) not trying to appear more important or intelligent than they are (性质)普通的,简单的;(人)朴素的,不张扬的It doesn't require special skills, just plain common sense.这个工作不要求有特殊技能,只要有普通常识就够了。He prided himself on being a plain, honest man with no nonsense about him.他为自己是个朴素、诚实、规规矩矩的人而感到自豪。 see also plain plain adj. 2 NOTE 辨析 Simple or plain?Both these words can describe people or qualities, but simple is used more about people and plain is used more about qualities. When used to describe people, simple tells you how other people see sb (= not grand, rich or clever, but in a good way); plain tells you more about how sb sees himself/herself (= not pretending to be grand, rich or clever). 两个词均可以描述人或特质,但是simple多用于人,plain多用于特质。描述人时,simple指对他人的看法,即平凡的、普通的,但是属正面看法;plain多指对自己的看法,意为朴素的、不虚夸的。 unremarkable not special in any way so that people do not take notice 一般的;平凡的;不起眼的It was a pleasant but unremarkable town.这是个温馨而又平淡无奇的小镇。OPP remarkable remarkable
